How do I force a specific catalog in the ecommerce app?

[Nick Olson]

I tried to put this into the web.xml file, thinking that the website
should bring up the catalog associated with it automatically, but this
doesn't seem to affect it.

    <context-param>
        <param-name>webSiteId</param-name>
        <param-value>MySite</param-value>
    </context-param>

When I look at the site, the 'choose catalog' drop-down shows the
catalogs in my store, but the selected catalog shown is the demo
catalog, which isn't associated with the store at all.

What can I do to force the app to use a specific catalog?

I found a way to set the catalog id by putting this in the
EcommerceSetup.bsh file.

session.setAttribute("CURRENT_CATALOG_ID", "MyCatalog");

I'm not sure if this is the best way to set the catalog, though.
